Rotisserie motor failure

This rotisserie motor has been going almost non stop for a bit over 100 days and the metal case is paying the price.

At first I thought the noise of metal rubbing on metal might help with the deterrent factor, and it didn't seem to be all that much resistance...but I guess constant pressure can wear anything or anybody down to the point of damage if the issue gets pushed long enough.

I need to go back to the drawing board and figure out some way of decreasing the friction. The above motor was shut down before I did any real damage, but some TLC along with a few adjustments are called for before it can go back to the front line.
